OH: Top Carranza executives ditched their residential zones for ‘whiter’ schools.

After moving from Boston to Bay Ridge in August 2015, Cheryl Watson-Harris, the current first deputy chancellor, did not enroll her young­est child in PS 170, Ralph A. Fabrizio, the elementary school for which her home was zoned.

Instead, she wrangled her son into PS 185.

PS 170 largely serves immigrant children. Its 1,000-student body is 24 percent white and 58 percent Asian, with 32 percent of students learning English. In contrast, PS 185’s 650-student body is 68 percent white — the kind of school Carranza would blast as “segregated.” Only 7 percent are English language learners.

The Department of Education initially claimed Watson-Harris’ home was zoned for PS 185, but after The Post learned her address at the time, the department admitted the boy’s zoned school was PS 170.

The DOE granted Watson-Harris a “child-care hardship waiver” to let him attend PS 185, officials said.

Hardship?

MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Joe Biden and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week. “It took a week of getting slagged in the press, a week where Biden couldn’t talk about much else, before he finally admitted defeat and made a major apology speech. That’s a week of lost campaigning, topped off with the embarrassment of caving to his competitor. For Biden then to have Harris partly reject his apology adds even more embarrassment.”

Of course, it’s only after publishing this piece that I remembered Biden doesn’t seem to be very capable of embarrassment.

LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF: Rich Clinton Foundation Donor Epstein Busted for Underage Sex Trafficking. “Reuters also wants you to know that the prosecutor who made that deal was Alex Acosta, who is President Trump’s Secretary of Labor but didn’t bother to mention Mueller was running the FBI at the time Epstein got a slap on the hand. USA Today, which is just total garbage, wants you to know there is a Trump-Epstein connection because they put it in the title that Epstein was a “associate” of Trump.”

The Fake News Media Is the Only Shrinking Institution in America’s Booming Economy

Before 2019 is over, there will be upwards of 12,000 job cuts within the American media. That’s 12,000 fewer Democrat foot soldiers; 12,000 fewer propagandists, serial liars, cheerleaders, and toadies to hold Antifa’s jacket as they beat elderly Trump supporters to death with crowbars.

Every industry in Trump’s America is expanding and thriving … except for the media.

What’s more, the Democrats primary propaganda outlet, the far-left CNN, is hemorrhaging viewers like an Ebola victim hemorrhages solid foods.

Where’s your god now, Jeff Zucker?

Democrats Lost “The Sane One” Joe Biden

Slow Joe will always be the stupid one, the gaffe machine on the verge of imploding, but he has now openly embraced gun confiscation, taxpayer-funded abortions, the banning of every gun currently being manufactured (except those stupid “smart guns”), raising everyone’s taxes, and putting an end to deportations of illegal immigrants. And now, we don’t really know where Creepy Joe stands on awarding health insurance to illegals and decriminalizing illegal immigration because he’s flip-flopping all over the place on those two.

The so-called “sane one” is an aging moron ready to take our guns, ban all the others, and force us to pay for an illegal alien’s abortion.

Much more at the link, but as always, don’t get cocky.

HISTORY THAT WASN’T: Why the Air Force Almost Blasted the Moon with an H-Bomb.

Blame Sputnik, the beach-ball-sized satellite slung into space by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, which jolted U.S. officials and citizens alike into a state of high alert. As the two Cold War superpowers duked it out for postwar world dominance—framed by many as a titanic struggle between freedom and tyranny—the prospect of America’s arch enemy gaining any measure of military-industrial advantage seemed chilling indeed.

America needed to show the world it was squarely in the race. And it needed something big—like nuking the moon.

Sometime before May 1958, the U.S. Air Force asked the ARF team to investigate something truly out of the ordinary: the visibility and effects of a hypothetical nuclear explosion on the moon. The Air Force wanted to surprise the Soviets and the world: Hey, look at what we can do. We can blow the hell out of the moon.

Well, it was a “realistic plan for world peace.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Showtime Mocks Conservatives Getting Censored, Attacked.

Remember why Mini AOC’s family shut down their humor operation? Or why the Covington Kids are suing The Washington Post?

The projection here is … stunning.

Today, conservatives are being ostracized, silenced, muted and shadow-banned across digital platforms and in real life for simply sharing right-of-center views. Some conservative stars, like James Woods, are asked to delete incendiary tweets while liberal stars routinely say far, far worse sans a wrist slap.

According to “Our Cartoon President,” conservatives are too “whiny” about the issue.

The message is clear.

“Shut up,” they explained.
